Intel Security unveils its True Key biometric solution for password management at MWC 2015

Intel Security has announced at MWC 2015 than your True Key solution, for password management and biometric technology, will be included in the mobile devices of the manufacturer Prestigio and will be available to Deutsche Telekom customers in EMEA.

The Mobile Device Manufacturer Prestige announced in Mwc 2015 in Barcelona that will adopt the security solution True Key of Intel Security in EMEA, A multi-device app that eliminates the tedious task of remembering passwords, of which it has already carried out pre-installations in Russia, and which will now be available on all its Android tablets and smartphones by the end of this year.

Passwords become an issue as users have more mobile devices around them. Considering the complexity of passwords and the different users that are created to access applications, It's reasonable to think that there are problems remembering them all, Especially if we consider that each user has an average of twenty-five online accounts and ten different passwords.

According to Marek Horyl, Managing Director and Head of Operations for Prestige EMEA, "Our customers want to manage their digital lives on different mobile devices, whether on a tablet or smartphone, and True Key offers an easier and safer way to do it. People are often overwhelmed by the thought of having to create and remember complex passwords. This innovative technology allows users to enjoy their digital experience to the fullest on any of their devices.".

True Key Technology, of which Intel Security is demoing at MWC (Pavilion 3 – stand D30), Allows access to websites, Apps and devices using unique and personal information, such as facial features or fingerprints. The biometric technology used in this app not only eliminates the task of remembering complex passwords, it also allows users to customize their security levels using multiple factors, That the older they are, the profile that has been created with True Key is more protected.

Data is encrypted locally with AES-256, One of the most robust levels currently available on the market, and they never leave the user's device unless they are pre-encrypted and with restricted access for the user or those they authorize. In addition, Intel Security cannot access or share the data stored in this application.

For Francisco Sancho, Head of Consumer & Mobility at Intel Security Spain, "Use the same easy password over and over again, or writing it down on a piece of paper are some of the most common habits when it comes to managing passwords, which is a serious mistake that compromises our security. True Key is a simple and secure solution for managing passwords. The app allows the user to take control and configure it with multiple factors, so that it becomes its own password".

This app also gives users the confidence of knowing that it doesn't matter what Prestige device they use, since all of them are protected and it is only he who has control of access to his content and applications, or such persons as it authorizes. Currently available in a limited version, It will be completed by the end of this year.
